On Monday, ten students set out for an informative tour of ISRO’s Space Application Centre located in Ahmedabad. In front of the students’ parents and district government representatives, the state’s Minister of Technical Education, Rajesh Dharmani, flagged off a bus that would transport them to their destination. Models of several ISRO programs were erected in the Space Lab, which the district administration opened in January of this year at the Ghumarwin Boys School.
According to officials, the aim of these programs is to stimulate children’s curiosity about science and space science in rural parts of the Bilaspur district. In an interview with the media, Dharmani stated that the district government plans to open space labs in four distinct Bilaspur subdivisions.
Encourage children in rural areas to be interested in science
He said that the purpose of these programs is to draw children studying in the rural parts of the Bilaspur district’s interest in science, particularly space science. The officials noted that in addition to the Space Application Center, schoolchildren would also visit the largest space museum in the nation, located under Gujarat Science City, as well as a state-of-the-art IMAX 3D theater, energy park, life science park, musical fountains, and the Hall of Space.
